ADDING THE DETERGENT

After adding the detergent, to close the lid slide it in the direction shown

by the arrow as far as it will go then press gently to lock. During washing,

the dispenser will be opened automatically.

x Use only detergents specially formulated for dishwashers. For

optimal washing results it is important to use a good quality

detergent.

x The detergent packs must be sealed and stored in a dry place to

prevent the formation of lumps which may negatively affect washing

results. Once opened the detergent packs should not be kept for too

long, otherwise the detergent loses its effectiveness.

x Do not use detergents formulated for washing dishes by hand,

because they produce a great deal of foam and may negatively

affect the operation of the dishwasher.

x Add the correct amount of detergent. An insufficient amount of

detergent will result in a partial removal of dirt from the dishes,

whereas an excessive amount is wasteful and does not improve the

washing results.

x The market offers liquid and powder detergents with differing

chemical compositions, which may contain phosphates, or be

phosphate-free but contain natural enzymes.

- Detergents containing phosphates are more effective against

grease and starch at temperatures above 60°C.

- Enzyme detergents, on the other hand, are also effective at lower

temperatures (from 40 to 55°C) and are more easily

biodegradable. With enzyme detergents it is possible to obtain at

low temperatures comparable results to those which can only be

achieved at 65°C using traditional detergents.

For the safeguarding of the environment we recommend the use of

phosphate- and chlorine free detergents.
